Roar of Thunder

I had grown under your iron rule Hatred and strife were my childhood school Tried to clip my wings before I could fly Shooting my dreams as if they were a lie Now face to face, age has made you more mild I see the scars from when you were a child Blessing or course, knowing you in this way I will forever mourn lost childhood days In the roar of thunder - I face my fears Through the night I wonder - Shedding some tears But I’ll brave the storm - I’ll stand the fight To mend my old wounds and make things right In the roar of thunder - I face my fears Through the night I wander - Shedding some tears But I’ll fight the dark - I’ll find the light To heal my soul’s scars, leave terror behind Mirage of our friendship, a warm distant glow Where did life take you? I would love to know We grew up, scattered, and drifted apart It seems in hard times, you emerge in my heart Back then we roamed our old streets every night Stood side by side, fearless in every fight The old pub echoed the songs of our youth It was all fleeting, it’s the cold and hard truth Ghosts of our romance taunt me in a dream The sound of your laughter turns into a scream I’m lost in the void that was filled by your love Getting no answers from heaven above And I still adore you, though now you are lost That foolish hope in me refuses to stop I’m drowning my loneliness with shots and beer I fear waking up, facing solitude’s jeer In the roar of thunder - I face my fears Through the night I wonder - Shedding some tears But I’ll brave the storm - I’ll stand the fight To mend my old wounds and make things right In the roar of thunder - I face my fears Through the night I wonder - Shedding some tears But I’ll fight the dark - I’ll find the light To heal my soul’s scars, leave terror behind
